Getting music back after formatting computer

I am a music teacher and use iTunes for all my recorded music. Over the summer, my school upgraded our computers to WIndows 7. Is there a way to get my music back? I spent a ton of money on all of it and would hate for it to all be gone... I have it on my iPod but can't figure out how to get it back on my computer. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks so much!

Use your backup copy. This is one of the reasons that always maintaining a backup is basic.
If you have failed to do so, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:

If the music was RIP'd from CD, then the fastest way is to restore from your backup.
Since it sounds like you did not have a backup, you will need to reRIP them from your CDs. Nothing else you can do.
iTunes purchases you can redownload. Open iTunes, go to the store, click on Purchases on the right side under Quick links.
Then tell the tech who formatted it for you without making a backup or making sure teat YOU made a backup that his rear end has a vacancy sign and your foot is looking for a place to rent.
and you should make a backup right now of your computer and update teh backup after you RIP all the CDs.
And make it a regualr practice, like weekly, depending on how much you want to lose.

Getting music back onto my computer after it crashed. Using same computer.

My current computer caught a virus of some sort. It erased almost the entire memory. Needless to say, my Itunes library was erased. I still have all of my music on my ipod. I am simply trying to put that music back onto the same computer. I have downloaded Itunes 10 and I thought I was ready to simply sync and the music would appear on my computer. That isn't the case. I need help putting the music back into my Itunes on my rebuilt computer. Any suggestions?

I'm going to assume that you never backed up any of the music on your iTunes library to an external source and that you weren't running any current antivirus software.
Might I suggest you purchase a Mac Mini with an external hard drive? Then you could use Time Machine to back up and wouldn't need the antivirus software.
But in the meantime, also assuming the music on the iPod was not purchased from the iTunes Store, download and install YamiPod from here: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ then follow the instructions.

Copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.

How to get music back on a computer from an Ipod

Hello,
I had to wipe my computer, and my files didn't backup properly so now I have no music. How do I get my music back onto my iTunes from my iPod, if I wasn't using the iCloud?
Thank you,

Getting music back after computer goes down.

The hard drive went out on my computer. I have a new one now. How do I get all my Itunes (including the ones not purchased at Itunes) music files back?

If the hard drive itself is mechanically dead (not just Windows or the computer making it appear dead) and your not willing to spend over $2000 at a platter level recovery service, then your out of luck basically, you should have made backups of your music.
If you have a iDevice, (iPod etc) there is third party software that can recover the files off of it and onto your new computer, regardless of the source of the music..
You'll have to ask at iLounge because we can't recommned software that can be used to violate copyrights here.
If your hard drive itself is not mechanically dead, you really dont know this unless you pull it out of the computer and use a enclosure or a IDE/SATA to USB adatapor cable to hook it up to another Windows PC, there are ways to recover the files.
So is the hard drive really DEAD DEAD? or is the comptuer not booting from the hard drive because Windows or the computer is fscked for other reasons (malware, dead power supply etc.)
Because if the hard drive works, I can post how to recover the files from a dead PC.

Getting music back after pc crash

After sync my music disappeared. Now I cannot get music back on phone!! I have one song on my ipod even though I synch with my playlists selected.

After sync my music disappeared. Now I cannot get music back on phone. I selected playlists and triedeven loading allmusic.I have one song on my phone and cannot load any music back on it. Is there a setting I may have selected that needs to be changed???

Okay. I hope I can remeber all my steps exactly because I fixed my own problem...with absolutely no help from Apple. I opened itunes. I connected my ipod touch to my computer. On my itunes page that shows my songs in the upper right side under the search library box there is an itunes button and since I am connected there is an ipod button. DO NOT CLICK THE ARROW in the ipod button...just click in the mail part of the button. On mine it opened to a summary page that gave info on my ipod. The menu bar has Summary, Apps, Tones, Music and more. I clicked on the Music button. I chose to Sync the entire music library. That replaced what was on my ipod but what was on there was going to be put back on so I was okay with it. I then clicked the Sync button on the lower right side and it sync'd and all my songs are on my ipod again. I hope this might help someone else. Good luck.

How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free?

You buy one and only one download of music/vids/tv shows/movies. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
